Government to Cover Certification Costs for Micro and Small Exporters Under EPM
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal announced that the government will cover the entire cost of export-related certifications for micro and small enterprises under the Export Promotion Mission (EPM). This support includes compliance with international regulations like the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and deforestation rules. Existing and new exporters are encouraged to approach the Directorate General of Foreign Trade for assistance. The EPM, approved with a budget of ₹25,060 crore over six years, aims to facilitate global market access for Indian exporters.
